The sunny day in the evening in New Zealand is another kind of stunning, where the mountains and rivers are connected, the colors are dazzling, and the colors on the water surface are also so pure and recognizable, as if there is no impurity, making people feel like they are in the middle of a high-definition blockbuster, and what amazing drama will happen in the next second.

With the windows open, we feel the breeze on our faces, which adds a tactile effect, like a dream, like clouds floating in the sky.

At this moment, I think of an ancient poem: the mountains and clouds are spitting cui in the micro, the light green and dark blue are 10,000 heavy, this scene should only be in the sky, how do you know that you are in the wonderful peak.

Although it is not among the mountain peaks, it really has a feeling of entering heaven! It is very in line with the saying that this scene should only be in the sky!

New Zealand is notoriously beautiful and doesn't need to brag about it, but ...... Anything that is extremely beautiful will have a counterpart.

Places with particularly beautiful scenery and bright colors are produced by strong ultraviolet radiation, which can cause cancer, cataracts and immune system diseases to humans.

One might ask why ultraviolet rays are so strong there, and that's the ozone layer.

The ozone layer as the earth's protection against the sun's deadly rays, it can reduce ultraviolet exposure, but the earth's environment has been damaged, the current ozone layer hole area has reached 28.2 million square kilometers, the ozone layer hole has become larger, means that more harmful radiation reaches the earth, especially in Australia, New Zealand and the Falkland Islands and other southern hemisphere regions.

New Zealand is located in the southern hemisphere, close to the Antarctic continent, and the ozone layer hole over Antarctica is just above New Zealand, and the ultraviolet radiation is very strong.

Therefore, although New Zealand's windows are covered with anti-ultraviolet film, and New Zealanders must wear big hats when they go out in summer, New Zealand is still a country with a high incidence of skin cancer, and in addition to skin cancer, there are many other cancers.

A local old man in New Zealand once said that he felt that their New Zealanders love cancer and their meat eating more, they should also learn from Chinese to eat more vegetables, of course, this is only one of the reasons, there is another important reason, and the medical treatment here is also related, about New Zealand medical care later.

Thinking of this, I suddenly didn't envy the good scenery of New Zealand so much.

As we drove home, we were passing through a wooded field when suddenly a small car crossed out of the middle of the road and stopped our car, and four men got out of the car, even though they had stockings on their heads, I could tell that they were Maori.

Each of them had a long knife in their hand and walked towards our car.

It couldn't be more obvious, it's the same as in the movie, that's right, it's a robbery, it's not a joke, it's a real robbery.

Sun Zhengdong's face was a little bad, but he was calm, and before those people came over, he said to us, "Do whatever you want, don't have disputes, and take care of the children." ”

Everyone was nervous, and the two children also saw the situation clearly, their faces turned pale with fright, and no one dared to speak.

Jiang Xi and Sun Zhengdong's lovers respectively held their two children in their arms.

At this time, a Maori man wearing stockings with a knife came to him, Sun Zhengdong first raised his hand and made a surrender gesture, and then he touched me with his elbow, and I quickly followed his example.

The Maori seemed calm, not panicked at all, but only we were flustered.

The Maori saw that we didn't want to resist, looked at the woman and the child in the back of the car, and seemed to be relieved of us, so he stepped back.

Sun Zhendong opened the car door and instructed us all to get out of the car.

Sun Zhengdong's lover and children are behind him, and Jiang Xi and Jiang Dongxi are behind me.

The Maori man pointed a knife at Sun Zhengdong and told him in English to take out the money he had.

Sun Zhengdong honestly took out his wallet and took out all the about 300 New Zealand dollars.

Another Maori man came up to me with a knife, and I quickly took out my wallet and gave him the three hundred dollars in it, and I put it away again, because there were a lot of documents there that could not be lost.

The 300 New Zealand dollars in my wallet were asked by Sun Zhengdong to put them alone, and he told me before he came out to play, not to carry too much money on his body, and to keep 3 or 400 New Zealand dollars in his wallet all the time, I didn't understand what it meant at the time, and now I finally understand Sun Zhengdong's intentions.

It turned out to be prepared for robbery.

They got the money and didn't embarrass us anymore, but they asked Sun Zhengdong for the car keys, and then two people got into the car, and the others got into their own cars, one of them saw that there was seafood in the trunk, and he also took the seafood down, and then the two cars drove away together.

This is the whole robbery process, without any fights, with a little money, a car is gone.

Sun Zhengdong immediately called the police, and then waited for the police to arrive.

Jiang Xi couldn't help but ask, "Does this happen a lot here?"

Sun Zhengdong's lover said, "I used to hear that we have never encountered this kind of thing for more than a year, the problem in the southern district of Auckland is more serious, I have a friend in the southern district, for three consecutive days, every day when I go out, I encounter robbers, always put three or four hundred New Zealand dollars in the wallet to save my life, this is what my friend taught us, robbers may get angry if they can't grab a penny, and then they are afraid that they will do it impulsively." ”

Sun Zhengdong said, "Under normal circumstances, gas stations, supermarkets, banks have been robbed more, gas stations and banks have cash, supermarkets have cigarettes, New Zealand in order to implement the national smoking cessation, the tobacco tax is set very high, a box of cigarettes is about equivalent to nearly 200 yuan, so many robbers go to the supermarket to grab cigarettes, a supermarket was robbed of cigarettes a few times and then closed, some supermarkets simply do not sell cigarettes, but the profit of cigarettes is high." ”

"Ahem, no way, the cost of crime in New Zealand is too low, many crimes are to serve a few months at home with leg shackles, and the police will not pay attention to it unless there are murders and rapes. Sun Zhengdong's lover said helplessly.

Jiang Xi and I looked at each other, I reached out and took her and Jiang Dongxi in my arms, I knew, we were both complicated in our hearts but didn't know what to say.

About half an hour later, the police had not yet arrived, and Jiang Dongxi was in a hurry.

"When are we going home?"

Jiangwu was a little cold, we didn't have coats on us, and some of the clothes and rain gear we had prepared were in the car.

Sun Zhengdong's son is not cold because he is used to the temperature here.

Speaking of which, I have to mention that New Zealand schools have a very strange rule, children must wear school uniforms every day at school, and their school uniforms, whether in winter or summer, only have shorts and skirts, no pants!

In other words, when it snows in the winter, you can't wear pants, and the temperature is about 5 degrees Celsius or less.

Not to mention Chinese children, even local New Zealand children often cry cold, but this seems to be a tradition in New Zealand, and it is useless for many parents to complain.

This made me think, if it was freezing in school every day in the winter in Jiangxi, would my heart be boiled up?

Some people say that New Zealanders eat a lot of meat and may be hardy, but I have also heard from friends that many local New Zealanders have rheumatism and cold legs.

I don't understand why the school doesn't change it, even if it is cold-tolerant, it can't torture children like this!

At this moment, I felt very sorry for Jiang Dong, I was afraid that she would catch a cold, so I held Jiang Dongxi in my arms and used my body temperature to warm her.

"It's a little far from the police station, but it should be almost there." ”

As he spoke, we saw an Iveco police car driving towards us.

There were two policemen in the police car.

One of the policemen negotiated a few words with Sun Zhengdong and let us all get into the car.

The temperature difference between day and night in New Zealand is quite large, and when we got in the car, it felt warmer.

We were taken to the police station, Sun Zhengdong and I were questioned a few words, and the others sat outside drinking hot coffee.

The whole process took less than fifteen minutes, and we were sent home by the police car, and a box of seafood was brought back for us.

When I got home, I couldn't help but ask, "Can I get the car back?"

Sun Zhengdong said, "It is unlikely, on the one hand, New Zealand is vast and sparsely populated, you see the place where we were robbed just now, there is not even a camera within a radius of several kilometers, and the police force is thin, and if there are no casualties, just go and register it, and it is not serious about property damage here." ”

"Yes, it is always said here that people are advocated, last time there was an old New Zealand man who was lost, the police department sent a helicopter out, high-tech positioning to find, like us lost some money, the car was robbed, basically just go through a form, record a confession, no one to investigate the case, if you really want to investigate, it is not easy to solve the case, there are too few cameras, the stolen car is remodified, it is difficult to find. ”

I thought to myself, even if the car is not expensive, it is 40,000 yuan to buy, and I always feel that this feeling is not what normal people should bear.

Forget it, it's not our country's business anyway, it's better to think less, so as not to lose your hair.

Even if this is the case, the next day is Sunday, Sun Zhengdong hurriedly went to the second-hand market to buy another car for 30,000 yuan, otherwise he would not be able to go to work on Monday, I want to come to buy cheaper this time, but also to prepare for the next robbery, cough! This is my blind thinking, I hope their family will not encounter that kind of thing again, there are many people in New Zealand who have never encountered robbery in their lives.

Originally, I was planning to go on a trip on Sunday, but now everyone is in the mood, and Jiang Xi and I don't want to travel either. However, Sun Zhengdong's family does not seem to be affected much, thinking that if they hear about this kind of thing too much, they can also have a certain immunity, and the most important people have not been harmed.

Sun Zhengdong's lover made the seafood, and we all ate it, but there was no longer the good feeling of expecting it to eat it in the stomach when I first saw the lobster, but I felt that it was not as delicious as our Chinese crayfish, because the shrimp was too big, the meat was a little old, and of course, the most important thing was that the mood changed, and what to eat was not fragrant.

Back in our rental house, I continued to post my resume on the Internet, and Jiang Xi had time to write.

She said that her idea this time was based on real experiences and events, and hoped to write about the texture of life and the wisdom of life, as well as positive chicken soup and knowledge points.

I couldn't help but sigh, can she really write such a rich content? I really feel that when it comes to writing, she always "has a heart higher than the sky and her life is thinner than paper."

Jiang Dongxi is bored and can only read books, I wanted to take my children out to play, to feel the cultural atmosphere here, how can I not drive, there is no car, there is only a small convenience store in front of the house, there is not even a food delivery here.

Don't forget, it's a bit out of the way, but it's still within the boundaries of Auckland, New Zealand's largest city.

Thinking that our big China has Jingdong Express and Meituan errands, I really want to press a few buttons.

In this sense, New Zealand is the village.

It's embarrassing to trouble Sun Zhengdong's family again, and it's not very good to think about it. And there are very few taxis in New Zealand, so this side is far from the city, so it has become very rare, and it is very expensive, think about it.

Just when the three of us were bored, my phone rang suddenly, and it was a call from an education agent.

"Hey, Mr. Jiang, how are you thinking about studying abroad? If you don't pay the tuition, it's too late. ”

There is no such thing as being too late, but I also understand the eagerness of the intermediaries.

I turned on my phone on hands-free and deliberately let Jiang Xi hear it.

Jiang Xi thought for a while, suddenly took the mobile phone in my hand, and then said to the intermediary, "I'm sorry Miss Sun, we still need to think about it, so let's give you a final answer in a week." ”

"Oh, that's it, that's okay!" said the intermediary, in a very helpless tone.

Hanging up the phone, I glanced at Jiang Xi.

Jiang Xi said, "Tomorrow we will go to Christchurch and meet with Mr. and Mrs. Li Jinsheng." ”

I was stunned, "yes, they've settled in New Zealand too, how are they living in Christchurch?"

"I often talk to Zhang Jing, she said that they are very happy, she said that Li Jinsheng is no longer in the IT industry, he is now mainly a tour guide, specializing in receiving domestic tourists to New Zealand, business is not bad, both of them are a bit of a freedom, this kind of work is very suitable for them. ”

"Hmm!" I agreed, thinking to myself, maybe everyone else would be fine with life here and be able to adapt to everything here.

On the third day, we said hello to Sun Zhengdong's lover, and flew from Auckland to Christchurch by plane, these days we have a sense of familiarity with this side, and we have also studied how to take a taxi, so this time, there is no need to trouble Sun Zhengdong to pick up, although the car is difficult and expensive, but make an appointment in advance, or get it.

It's only a half-fly from Auckland to Christchurch

We arrived in about an hour, and Li Jinsheng and his wife came to pick us up.

I haven't seen Li Jinsheng for many years, and as soon as we met, he hugged me tightly.

He laughed and shouted, "Lao Tie, Lao Tie, I haven't seen you for many years, I'm so glad you came to Christchurch to find me!"

I also hugged him tightly, I was also very excited, just like seeing relatives I hadn't seen for many years, I felt that my old classmates got along well, and they were really close!

Not to mention Zhang Jing and Jiang Xi, Zhang Jing performed Western etiquette, and he kissed Jiang Xi's face, of course, it was a face.

But as a Chinese man, it's still a bit weird to look at.

They enthusiastically helped us with our luggage, gave us the car door, Jiang Dongxi politely called them uncle and aunt, they all pinched Jiang Dongxi's face lovingly, Jiang Dongxi pursed his lips and smiled, his little face was red.

When I arrived at their house, we had another hot chat, mainly about what their life was like here. It sounds like these two people are still relatively idle, they are more free to be tour guides, they rest when they don't live, and they can refuse some guests when they are tired, of course, they can't save much money financially, and it is not a big problem to maintain a well-off life.

Chatting and chatting, Li Jinsheng talked about another classmate in my hometown that I don't often contact, that classmate is called Sun Chen.

"Jiangdong, do you know? Sun Chen is also in Christchurch. ”

"Huh?" this really surprised me, "Didn't Sun Chen study for a doctorate in China?"

Li Jinsheng said with a smile, "Yes, he graduated with a doctorate, and her lover also graduated with a doctorate, both of them are highly educated and high-tech talents, but they are ......."

Li Jinsheng suddenly smiled meaningfully, "Do you guess what kind of work their husband and wife have done since they came to New Zealand?
